Sidney Powell may have pleaded guilty to interfering in the 2020 presidential election, but she still seems to think President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.

On her social media accounts, Powell has continued to push claims that the 2020 election was rigged and that prosecutors in Georgia who brought the criminal case against her are politically motivated. The newsletter published by her dark money group has shared articles arguing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “extorted” her guilty plea.

    On Monday, she asked her followers to watch “Police State,” a new movie from conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza, which argues that law enforcement is biased against former President Donald Trump, who currently faces four pending criminal cases.

    (D’Souza himself had previously pleaded guilty to making an illegal campaign contribution and was pardoned by Trump.)

    What a fucking joke, to have this guy who was pardoned say that other people are the ones who are biased.

    How can the GOP be the “party of law and order” when all of them have been convicted of felonies? Not just convicted, but often pleading guilty. Saying under oath in court that they are guilty of felonies.

      But they’ve been pardoned so it didn’t happen! Just as Jesus did, so can trump absolve anyone of their sins.

      Imagine the absolute apocalyptic shit-fit the trumpers would have if Biden pardoned a bunch of crooks and cronies like Manafort, Stone, Kushner senior etc. x 100

      Pardoning a bunch of tax frauds, while RAISING taxes on common folks and cutting them massively for corporations—and their broke, inbred base cheers. So much for draining the fucking swamp. God DAMN these people are as fucking stupid as they are vile.

        I can’t even tell you how many blue collar people I heard happily taking their higher taxes on the chin. “I don’t like it but I’ll do my part”

        They’re the same as the 50s crowd that would sooner close the community pool, and fill it with cement, than let black people swim in it one day a week.

        Their capacity to withstand any pain - as long as it causes another group even greater hardship - is as awe-inspiring as it is stupid, self defeating and cruel.

        Id rather have that endurance in my allies, not my opposition, is what I’m getting at. I vehemently disagree with the sexism, racism and social regression coming from the right.

        I think a lot of people on the right acknowledge our societies broken but conflate the cause. Punching down instead of punching up. Hopefully we can shine enough light on the issue, that economics and politics 100% can not be separated, that lassaiz-faire and deregulation are just euphemisms for the looting our institutions and the hopes and dreams the working classes have for themselves and their children.

        Thats the bridge over the gap. Everyone hates corporations. Everyone.

      To be fair, pleading guilty to a crime means all of jack and shit considering how everyone who is arrested is threatened or blackmailed into accepting plea deals regardless of guilt.

      I suspect the MAGA crowd is exploiting the hatred of the police the left very rightly has, and we’ll see a shift in anti-police sentiment as MAGA adopts a Fuck The Police stance and the left in the most blatantly hypocritical 180 on stances they’ve done since covid, openly start bootlicking just to spite the right.

      Or maybe we’ll start having some common ground, can finally come together to overthrow them, and then kill each other afterwards.
